About This Quote

"I could pick out Jewish people almost as if I had a sixth sense about it, even if they had blue eyes and blond hair" is another way of saying that anyone can be identified by his or her appearance. There are many studies that show that when people are put in situations where they must make quick decisions based on visual clues and do not have time to study the situation, their ability to identify others is impaired.
